A guitar someone took apart for some reason and never re-assembled.

LOL @ Noel!

I was a little suspicious of the auction. He should have taken better pictures of the pots' numbers and stuff. It looked a bit fishy with a black pick-guard and black knobs, which weren't available for the Jazzy until the 1970s. And maybe now Noel will post a picture of a fish...lol.

For $222, worth the gamble. Shielding plate alone is worth a decent amount. Seeing as the pickup shielding appears connected to the main shielding plate, I would say that has to be pre-64. Black Bobbin pickups as well, switched to Grey at some point in 1964. I would say those pickups are vintage. The wiring and solder joints connecting the bridge pickup are quite old looking, old enough to the point where reissues pickups weren't even around yet.

Also, the black guard and black knobs throw me off...
